Songs Lyrics
A-G H-P Q-Z Christmas
Wagon Wheel
(Traditional, lyrics by Ketch Secor and Bob Dylan)
Song History (click for popup)

Heading down south to the land of the pines
Makin' my way into North Caroline
Staring up the road and pray to God I see headlights
I made it to the coast in seventeen hours
Picking me a bouquet of dogwood flowers
And I'm a-hopin' for Raleigh, I can see my baby tonight

(Chorus)
So rock me momma like a wagon wheel
Rock me momma any way you feel
Hey,momma rock me
Rock me momma like the wind and the rain
Rock me momma like a south bound train
Hey,momma rock me

Running from the cold up in New England
I was born to be a fiddler in an old time string band
My baby plays a guitar. I pick a banjo now
Oh, north country winters keep a-getting me down
I lost my money playing poker so I had to up and leave
But I ain't a going back to living that old life no more

(Chorus)

Walkin' to the south out of old Roanoke
I caught a trucker out of Philly had a nice long toke
But he's a heading west through the Cumberland gap
To Johnson City, Tennessee
And I gotta get a move on, hid from the sun
I hear my baby calling my name and I know that she's the only one
And if I die in Raleigh at least I will die free

(Chorus x2)
